Sir Beregond

Man those pizzas look legit excellent and delicious. I've been really taking up learning how to fix things around the house and do my own maintenance on my car (started that a few years ago). I did brakes for the first time last summer and am gearing up to do my garage door opener soon when it warms up a tad.

100% the right move to make E.

Should fit then. I have a bog standard old O11-D which is narrower than the new ones and it fits a HWLabs 360GTS in the bottom. That said it will block the bottom headers on your motherboard from access after installation, so if you ever need to plug in something to a USB 2.0 header like a flow meter or fan controller, you'll have to drain and take the rad out. Won't have to do that on the XL I think, but Avacado can confirm.

Nice, definitely let us know how it works out.

I agree. Look like one of their normal full-cover blocks (I have an Alphacool 3080 FE block on my 3080 Ti FE and it works excellently - though I'm open loop) plumbed up as an AIO. Looks like would work fine.

Hey, welcome over to EHW! Are you talking about one of these? Alphacool Eiswolf 2 AIO - 360mm RTX 3090/3080 with Backplate (Reference) WWW.AQUATUNING.US The Alphacool Eiswolf 2 is the first full cover GPU AIO waterblock from Alphacool. It is based on the Alphacool GPX Eisblock Aurora GPX water block, a pump unit and a 360mm NexXxoS ST30 full copper radiator...

Oh hey, I meant to reply to this but got sidetracked and forgot. Airforce Delta was the fighter jet game. Sadly nothing ringing a bell on the RPG front. Yeah I had a controller with one of those VMU's too. Two controllers actually. One was grey (default I think) and the other blue.

I guess I missed the idea. But looking at this, did you 3-way NVLink 2x 2080 Ti's and a 3090?

Nicely done! Congrats! Here's to the next billion.

Oh I've been tracking the graphics score and that one was my best run with voltage lock. I did another run without it and got marginally higher, so not sure this undervolting is really helping me here aside from maintaining a steadier clock that isn't bouncing around. This is my daily use card in my one and only rig besides my old 4790k / 980 rig. Was thinking maybe I can play around with the 980 again, but not sure that has the same problems this card does. Will have to see if I still have the waterblock for it.

Did another run. This time I dropped to 900mv locked at +210 to the Core and same +1100 Memory. I mostly had a 1965mhz run on this one: Compare Link Seems my real limit is the 400W. Really contemplating getting a cheap card and learning how to shunt mod.

I noticed once I added the +1100 Memory overclock, my 1950 clock would drop to 1935 on those spikes that hit 400W limit. That said, I upped my TimeSpy score to 20,005 from 18something with just an overclock and no volt limits (and thus lower avg clocks). My average clock on this run was 1949 while previous overclock and no locked voltage was more like 1919.

I did a little TimeSpy loop testing with voltage locked at 925mv and it was holding 1950 fine, it technically held 1965 fine too but both these frequencies hit power limits when it spiked up to 400W (max on the FE) despite a 360-370W avg. Tried 1980 as well and it would drop a lot to 1965 and after 15 mins crashed the benchmark. Eventually when I am feeling brave, might need to learn how to shunt mod.

Thanks for sharing. I did +14% power limit, +1100 memory, +180 on the core clock. Been stable in OCCT, and Superposition so far (going to try some 3DMark), but definitely hit power limitations there. I'm, likewise seeing 1930-1950 being my most stable clocks.

Yeah I was hitting power limit there too, though my FE maxes out at 400W. Curious what your OC/curve settings look like?

Same to you! Happy New Years everyone!

Yeah really agree. Great work Ryan.

So I started to do some baselining last night. I was curious if with my 3080 Ti I can achieve better overclocks with some slight undervolting to help limit the voltage spikes and get more consistent higher clocks. I am noticing when I bench that I do drop clocks a lot, so it definitely feels like its bouncing around a lot. Baseline stock settings my average core clock was around 1875mhz at 975mv. Once I bumped the FE card's power target up to 114%, was getting around 1950mhz at 1024mv. I want to see if I can now put in an overclock offset on the core clock and see what I might be able to undervolt that to. Haven't figure that part all out exactly yet, but looking forward to experimenting this weekend.

OK so I just remembered something else retro console wise. So I also had a Dreamcast as a kid and I tried my hardest to find it when my Mom sold her house a few years ago, but to no avail. Sad I could not re-find that. There were a few games I remember loving to play on it but to this day I have no idea what the games were called. One was like a fantasy RPG (turn based style combat), another was like an arcade style fighter jet game, and I am sure there were some more I am forgetting. Outside of that, I remember my sister had an N64 for a while, so I'd play Mario 64 and Mario Kart when I went to her house. I also had a friend who had an original NES and I loved playing Mario and Duck Hunt when I went to her house.

Well the other problem with the 13900k is that its simply a power hog. Zen 4 definitely upped the usage from zen 3, but not like 13th gen. Will be interesting to see if these give a similar uplift like the 5800X3D did over Zen 3. The other thing the 5800X3D did was make it ok to run more basic say DDR4-3200 memory where-as Zen 3 was more sensitive to having good memory like B-die with higher clocks/tighter timings. Might make AM5 platform more affordable if you can aim for an X3D and just a basic DDR5 kit. Also like seeing that they are bringing 3D v-cache to additional SKUs this time. I wonder though, just because I am unfamiliar with them, are you able to still overclock/PBO/dynamic oc shift with 3D v-cache models? I thought I remember 5800X3D being lower clocked and locked down when it first came out, but I am unfamiliar with current state.

I was not really exposed to gaming much prior to the PS2 era growing up. PS2 probably remains my favorite console and my favorite games were Champions of Norrath and Ace Combat 04. Champions of Norrath makes the list because it showed up after I stopped playing EverQuest on PC.

Oh I didn't realize. Thanks for the tip.

Hmm gotta figure out how to take screenshots on the C1 OLED without it dimming.

Been trying the Next Gen update for Witcher 3. Took some customizations in the settings to get it non-stuttery, but so far enjoying it.

Or the 2 hours we spent at the ER a couple years ago.
